Gisele Bundchen’s Best Maternity Fashion Moments Over the Years
Congratulations are in order for Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, who are expecting their first baby together.
Bündchen, 44, also shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter, Vivian, 11, with ex-husband Tom Brady. She’s been dating the Jiu-Jitsu instructor since 2023.
Although it’s been over a decade since the former supermodel was carrying, a look back at her maternity style for her eldest kids reveal that neither her style nor her shape has not shifted dramatically in the last 12 years.
This is no doubt in large part thanks to her wardrobe’s timeless appeal. Her personal aesthetic exudes a certain Lily van der Woodsen brand of energy that women everywhere continue to emulate today as much as they did the first time around.
Bündchen also famously never wore maternity clothes. In fact, she credits kung-fu, among other things, for helping her keep her enviable figure while pregnant.
“I kept myself in good shape throughout the pregnancy, feeding on a healthy diet, meditating and doing exercises such as yoga and kung-fu,” she told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo Veja (as translated by New York magazine). “I gained a little, but I kept using almost the same clothes, with minor adjustments to close in the belly.”
It may come as less of a surprise then that an expectant Bündchen even walked the runway with one on the way. (See her glorious turn down the catwalk while pregnant in June 2009.)
Then again, just six weeks after she gave birth to baby Benjamin in her bathtub in Boston in 2009, she was already gracing the covers of magazines, looking even better than before.
As we wait to see how the model mom dresses her baby bump for her third pregnancy, keep scrolling to take a look back at some of Bündchen’s best “maternity” fashion moments to date.
